Chopping and changing is starting a player who has only been here for a week, and playing with a formation different from that which was employed for the majority of the pre-season.
Anyway that is my opinion, the real interest is how GVE sees it. It will be a big surprise if he starts with exactly the same team, I can see him making at least 1 or 2 changes.
